Get that Stag set!

 

Because he's been doing limited quantity, exclusive released collectible patches for nearly 5 years?

This is a collectible hobby and exclusivity is part of it. There are lots and LOTS of makers out there who do exactly the same thing (myself included) it just so happens Station707 (@Bennett707 ) is one of THE most sought after brands around. Take a look at one of their patches up close and you'll see why.

-Amazing original artwork
-Crapload of vibrant colors
-Stitching quality is flawless
-Work with lots of other well known makers

Cody is also a really great dude and also Jess so it's no wonder their stuff is highly regarded.

 

This is a much better response than mine. I agree with Andy on all points, except I'd like to add something...

Cody and Andy are both absolutely awesome people, and do amazing things for the community. They're both welcome at any of my camping/wheeling trips, and my spare bedroom is always free!

 

I agree 100%

 

A lot going on over here

Thanks for the tag @orezona

I know it's a bit odd to have pages of unavailable product, I totally feel your initial response to that. We leave them up as reference for collectors to the work we've done, the information surrounding it (pieces made, etc), and for those absolutely crazy individuals that like us enough to try to collect everything we've made over the last 5 years. (Which by the way, is truly humbling.) So instead of thinking of those pages of sold out products as items you can't get, think of it as a portfolio of work completed. Since moving and adding space (an entire shop to be exact) I've really tried to find ways to keep inventory and stuff on hand, but we do primarily focus on the limited edition side of the patch world.

I really don't know what to say other than thank you. You guys are my world, this is my only "hobby", honestly I spend more time talking to most of you than working at my FT job too. (Don't tell my boss, please?) Between my job and 707 I spend an average of 80 hours a week in the shop working. Folks are more willing to leave not so good feedback than good, and we get a lot of silent love, so it truly means a lot when I can stumble (or be tagged) upon something like this.

 

Forgot the Success hasn’t spoiled you yet part.

 

People like Andy like to remind me that I am a sought after brand, but in the mirror I'm still just Cody Bennett, doing his thing the best way he knows how.

Funny story, my sister dated a dude for a minute that was into tops. I guess he knew about Station707 and talked to her about it, and that was awkward for her to learn about her brother from a EDC world PoV

 

Bet they took the patches off the headliner before things got goin. My guess Ranger Eyes were the first to go.

 

Kinda gives a Whole New Meanin to “IN”.

 

I spit out my coffee, damnit Eddie.

 

While I can share the OP's frustration with things being sold out, or the impossible to snag a drop... that in no way translates into frustration with the Maker.

How dare you make a desireable product!

To the OP... if you want mass produced and thoughtless patches, there are plenty of makers out there for you. What Cody does is entirely different. And when you pick up one of his patches on the secondary market, for an eye watering price, you'll know you have something special that very few other collectors have. My 707 patches are for sure my most prized patches. Truly works of art.

Ok... now if we're all done stroking @Bennett707 off... he can get back to work making my future financial bad decisions.

 

I use @theolee , @Bennett707 and @orezona "sold out" pages as a road map to completion..lol.

 

My favourite 707 item. Not a patch or a sticker but a Bolo tie. Wore it to a Wedding last month c/w new boots ‘n Stetson hat. Had many compliments.

 

Speaking of you do need to join my FB group

 

That would mean that I have to join FB... and then @Sicyota04 would no longer be my personal shopper.
